Porn fic that takes fifty thousand words to get to the fucking and it's not even a slow burn, it just takes that much worldbuilding to properly contextualise the author's incredibly specific kink.
well! the years start coming and they don't stop coming (palette)
Some sort of post-first time maybe scenario

youre not yaoiful at all
Oh hey, do you know what time it is? It is highly specific resource time!
Today we have the Royal School of Needlework Stitch Bank! There are HUNDREDS of stitch types in the RSN Stitch Bank.
And more added regularly, let’s look at a recent addition
I picked the first one in the 25 recently added Elizabethan stitches, the Elizabethan French Stitch
The stitch bank provides written and photo tutorials as well as a video option to learn to do it yourself. There are examples of the stitch in use, resources, references, everything but a needle and thread!

I feel like we give too much credit to the inherent homoeroticism of things. In many cases, it's not inherently homoerotic at all, and only becomes so through serious and dedicated effort. People work hard to make that shit homoerotic, and frankly, sometimes the circumstances are not helping.
💯 but its 000 for when something's fuckall
Sex is cringe. "Hey do you wanna come over and play boners together?" What naked bullshit. They have played us for fools.

*grabbing you by the hair while you are blindfolded and kneeling* no damnit, thats the phillips-head screwdriver, you can tell because its vibrational aura is two waves, the yin being a half cycle out of phase. try again. place your fingers into the toolbox again, but this time feel with the spirit, not the body
@requiodile I'm still thinking about Eiden: "you have PENIS" Rei: "do I look like I use it for pussy?!" absolutely incredible exchange. lives in my mind rent free
love my pumpkin
scary my pumpkin
Sorry I cried wordlessly and motionless in your arms for like 30 minutes, that was probably scary. Can I still suck your dick?
no matter how terrible my day is. i can always end my day in bed imagining fictional characters making out sloppy style and fucking raw. and that's beautiful. there's some good in this world mister frodo and it's worth fighting for
never kill yourself tomorrow you might see a dog
Hi. Angel on your shoulder here. It's totally ok to kill that guy
briefly rewatched a blood key room to remind myself of the tone and framing of the flashback (relevant to @contacthigh520's time travel posting)
age diagnosing points:
Olivine refers to Agnus as a senior classmate. most likely just as in older classmate and not in the American sense of the term, since nuca's translators are based in Taiwan. since ST seems to be a university equivalent it could be a mixed age class, and it could be that Agnus is on the older end of the typical age range or he's been a student longer or just that he's older than Olivine specifically
no one's particularly concerned on the angle of "you're openly admitting to knowingly letting a kid watch you fuck?" which may point to Olivine being not that young here, or it could be that people are so caught up on "Olivine simply would not" that the fridge horror doesn't occur to them
also, the defenses are focused on Olivine specifically being too good for it, as something that makes him special. so he's at minimum an age where someone of his age would be expected to have sexual interests, making him exceptional for supposedly not having sexual interests
so based on this scene I would ballpark Olivine as 16+, I think. maybe 14+ if we consider the possibility of Klein being more blase about minors and sex
topping is actually gayer than bottoming because like the top is the one who's deciding again and again to put his dick in another man. The other guy could just be chilling. For all we know
My first NU: Carnival and Quinya comic is out...! It's a small comic about Quincy x Kuya with some divorced feelings hehe. You can purchase it over on my Ko-Fi, thanks so much...!
SORRY forgot to add, but if you're international and/or having payment issues, feel free to DM or message me and I can do an invoice or something! ^^
"died and came back wrong" nah, died and came back an entirely different guy. like actually, that's just some random other dude. where did you get him
i’ve been thinking about what a nu carnival time travel fix-it might look like (the thoughts happened mostly before chapter 16, i should preface so no huey stuff (although would any huey stuff really be a fix-it if it would eliminate the existence of eiden??)). anyways. the thing with nu carnival is there aren’t an abundance of ‘key points’ or like Singular Terrible Events. things tend to happen in a slow collapse that are hard to circumvent.
for example, you can’t really ‘fix-it’ quincy because his big problem is that everyone he has ever loved (plus, in his eyes, will ever love in the future) will die before him. and the cause of that problem, him becoming a clan member to defend his tribe, is difficult to get around. even now, we can tell that he stands by that decision, to some extent, because unlike other older clan members, he hasn’t chosen to die. (i think maybe i’d read it as a sort of what-if path rather than a fix-it? a bittersweet thing where he died surrounded by family that loved him, lauded for his feats of strength and protection.)
(in going through the process of rethinking what might be a ‘fix-it’ option for everyone, i’m realizing it might just be eiden giving any given clan member a friend while they struggled through their lives. because really, the biggest absence most of them have is a friend that could stand by their side. anyways, that’s not what i initially thought of— so i’m tucking that away for another time.)
ok. so. right. thinking about a Big Event that caused a Lot of Cascading Stuff that could be changed via time travel (i love time travel). who would be sent back? what would the event be?
well… (<- guy who has a very strong bias), there’s the riot that killed dante’s parents…
the thing is, the initial issue is still there: the riot was caused by numerous decisions from dante’s parents that they really stood by! like dante, they had very strong convictions that would be difficult to sway, even with the interference of a time traveller.
if dante was sent back in time into his puny kid body before the riot happened, he probably couldn’t convince his parents to fight off bandits or not waste money on his happiness. like, they might fortify the palace or make contingency plans for their safety, but they wouldn’t stop being Really Committed Pacifists in the Bandit-Death Desert.
so like… what would dante do? he’d be in a very similar situation to his original kid self where no one would listen to him and he had no power.
well, he’d try to get back to his original solaria.
though there are numerous things he’d probably like to change, his ultimate commitment is to his Solaria. it’s what he built, what he knows, and what he wants to protect. there’s no telling what changing the past would bring and there’s the very real chance that this is all just… magical shenanigans.
it’s kind of obvious that no one in solaria can or will help him. his parents love him, which is a problem, because that means they won’t let him leave the palace (an age-old problem). and dante is still Super Sick.
but, hey, he stopped being ill after he went through the trials of the elemental spirit of fire so… that’s one piece of the puzzle
and! he has a rough idea of the people who could potentially help him: the other clan members. the level of sorcery that this time travel nonsense would take is probably beyond the average magic user, so clan members are his best bet. plus, there’s a chance he wasn’t the only one impacted by whatever is going on.
(this is also my ploy to make it a group adventure…)
so, like, dante sneaks out with a horse and, with a whole lot of difficulty, manages to get to and pass the trials of the elemental spirit of fire. (i imagine it’s easier because he knows where he’s going. it’s potentially harder because there’s no riot to distract the bandits around town. cest la vie. the trials are probably as difficult as before but!! i imagine the content would change because time travelling dante doesn’t have the same concerns baby dante had.)
dante running off leaves solaria in a panic (despite the note that dante thoughtfully left behind) and dante in better health with his trial markings.
so where does dante go from there? aster, maybe, since he knows that aster is connected to the grand sorcerer, even if eiden isn’t around…
i didn’t actually come up with a plan for how dante got back to the present or what sent him back.
in my initial planning, i thought it would be very funny for dante to go to quincy. quincy’s a good option because he’s strong (dante kind of needs that) and he’s reliable (unlike many of the other clan members).
the idea of pre-eiden quincy (incredibly tired + depressed) having to deal with an pompous, demanding baby foreign prince is a fun image, esp. because its so baffling to quincy.
looking at the map of klein… dante probably picks up blade and garu (and maybe even gramps!) while he passes through the dead zone? he’s probably pretty blatant about picking up clan members. it would be difficult to override huey’s ‘orders’ to blade, but maybe blade could be convinced to come on the basis that it was ‘for the grand sorcerer’? and gramps would probably not leave this rambunctious child on a horse to travel alone.
man… and baby karu would still be fully hidden in garu… (also i wonder how gramps feels about potential future knowledge that garu’s ‘master’ actually does come to be?)
so blade + garu (+ gramps(?)) and then quincy.
kuya probably comes along uninvited because its not his circus, not his monkeys, but he is an intrigued audience member.
from there maybe they put together some puzzle pieces about needing all the clan members?
going in map order, that’s like: yakumo (baby snake!) -> aster, morvay, edmond (baby edmond!) -> olivine (baby…) -> rei (rei!)
tbh, they probably bullshit to get baby yakumo along, if his grandma and grandpa even let him go with the strange group of people. gramps probably does a lot to help smooth things over.
a big bid in their favor is that they know about yakumo’s gem and tell him about it? let him know that he’s not so alone in the world…
aster and morvay are probably the MVPs in letting the group progress in their research. dante leverages his knowledge about aster and the grand sorcerer Super Hard. plus, aster and morvay wouldn’t let any remotely trustworthy lead about their master fall through.
i think aster would maybe help them get into the sorcerer’s trials? for the library or w/e…
and that’s how they meet baby olivine
laying out the ages:
dante: ~8-10 years old
garu: ~15-16 years old or ~5-7 years old(?) (he doesn’t get a younger looking sprite in his flashback since they just use n-r rarity sprites for those. and he doesn’t act much younger? so i’m leaning towards him being pretty similar to how we see him in canon) (of course, i might be fudging the timeline a lot to even have him be around at all instead of in kolt’s clutches. ah well…)
yakumo: ~9-11 years old (he has a kid form iirc? and that’s the form his grandparents picked him up in)
edmond: ~11-13 years old
olivine: ~12-15 years old
and then this is fun because of Conflict!! dante doesn’t really know much about the past of the others to have any real insight on them during these time travel shenanigans. BUT! he does know about olivine cutting himself which makes things Interesting
honestly, i think it would be super cute if olivine acted as their guide during the group’s visit because he has a gemstone? and he also turns out to be pretty helpful because he’s pretty deep into technical and theoretical magic.
and then they whisk olivine away for their group adventure because 1) he’s a clan member and 2) they need his brain. (dante’s pretty informed on essence and elemental spirits but i wouldn’t say magic is his forte)
and then, finally, around the water territory, they meet up with rei, who comes to them because what are garu and gramps even doing there??? and then we get some semi-rare olivine and rei discussion as they discuss The Situation…
it’s just so fun to see how different these half-formed versions of everyone are before the present…
- quincy’s so much sadder (but hey! he still has topper… who is not named topper yet)
- blade is still quirky but much harder to communicate with (unless it’s with other members of the old guard who are kind of used to him)
- yakumo’s a nervous baby (but maybe has his anxiety less in-grained in him? less convinced that all these people like him would reject him thoroughly? esp since they came to see him)
- edmond is still prickly but more transparently because he’s been hurt before? i feel like he makes pretty fast friends with the other kids (he shores up yakumo’s shyness (little knight behavior), he responds well to dante’s taciturn but earnest nature, and well… garu is garu (puppy friendship power!)).
- kuya is probably pretty mean but less mean than i would expect, esp w/ the promise of curiosities and the novelty of (ahem) getting the band back together.
- rei is similarly intrigued by the gathering of clan members and is even more intrigued by dante’s issue and the possibility of time travel… (he probably has some things he’d like to time travel about but the canon i’ve read for him so far is vague enough that i couldn’t pin it down). (im also maybe fudging his timeline bc idk if he’d even be in klein with father 10-13 years ago…)
